Our team recently interviewed Angie and we’re excited for you to meet our September volunteer spotlight.
Ranch: How did you first hear about and or get involved with Wings of Hope Ranch?
Angie: I was interested in a volunteer opportunity where I could work with horses. Wings of Hope always needs help with barn chores and it's a good fit for me.
Ranch: How long have you volunteered and what role/roles do you volunteer in out at the ranch?
Angie: I have been a barn chore volunteer for over two years and I've helped with the International Ranch Ministry Conference and Fellowship.
Ranch: What do you like most about volunteering at Wings of Hope Ranch?
Angie: I love interacting with the horses and managing their care. I enjoy working with the other barn chore volunteers towards our shared goals.
Ranch: Has anyone specifically mentored you or inspired you while working at the ranch?
Angie: Catie, the Equine Director, is so patient with all of my questions and I continue to learn from her.
All of the shift leads that I have worked with are very supportive and I feel satisfied with our hard work at the end of our shifts.
Ranch: Are you close to any particular horse at the Ranch and if so how/why?
Angie: I love Aaron’s playfulness. He makes me laugh. Lacey is so calm and is such a good girl for handling. Paxton gets so excited when it’s feeding time and I love hearing him whinny.
Don’t let the other horses know that I didn’t pick them. I think there is something special about each one.
Ranch: Have you grown in your faith in God/Jesus/Holy Spirit since you started volunteering with us? If so, please share!
Angie: So many of the volunteers talk about their faith and that fellowship is inspirational. Hearing about the kids that are helped by the Ranch’s programs is rewarding.
Whether it’s growth in their knowledge of God and His love for them, their confidence in themselves and even the positive feedback from their parents, it shows that God is at work in everyone’s lives.
Angie, thank you for sharing your time at the barn!
